3 Secrets to Getting 6 Pack Abs

Getting 6 pack abs does NOT have to be hard. People tend to do all the wrong things for getting 6 pack abs. Keep things simple with the following secrets and you'll get results.

Here are 3 secrets to obtaining a washboard stomach quickly and effectively.

1. Cardio. You have to do some exercise to burn the fat around your stomach. This doesn't have to be hard or painful. The secret to cardio is either going at a slow to moderate pace for 30 minutes or going harder for a shorter amount of time. Walking on the treadmill at a brisk pace for 30 minutes can do the trick. The other option is doing cardio at a faster pace for 12-15 minutes. This takes less time but you have to pick up the pace and work harder. Either way, you have to put some exercise in to get rid of the fat.

2. Cutting Carbs. Diet is what prevents a lot of people from getting 6 pack abs. The secret to diet is cutting carbs. People get worked up over fat content while they don't think twice about shoveling all kinds of carbs down their throat. They'll never get good results unless they cut their carb intake. All sugars and flour products should be eliminated. The only carbs you should take in are vegetables and a limited amount of fruit. This will help burn the fat and get you lean quick.

3. Ab Exercises. So here we go, actual ab exercises. Do one exercise that work the lower abs, and one exercise that works the upper abs. That's it! The secret to ab exercises is working both lower and upper abs with 2 exercises that you can feel are personally effective for your body type (this takes a bit of trial and error, but you'll quickly be able to feel which are the best for you personally). Now, most people neglect the lower, only working the upper, and then end up with a loose lower stomach, and a firm upper stomach. You can get into working your sides or obliques, but for now keep it simple and stick with lower and upper exercises until you see results.
